Hi Bob,

Adding to Joel: we have separated out the things we want to include and 
labelled the github issues accordingly, only a few left to do. If people are 
happy with that scope and the resolutions then we could well have a ready 
version in January.

One change for consideration is the simplified encoding of ‘name’, see
https://github.com/cose-wg/CBOR-certificates/pull/213
In this change, the previous bespoke encoding is replaced:

  *   text strings of EUI-64 format is encoded using the dedicated CBOR tag for 
MAC addresses;  and
  *   text strings of byte strings (even number of characters ‘0’-‘9’ and 
‘a’-‘f’) are encoded as (untagged) CBOR byte strings.

This impacts in particular your application which uses byte string 
representations of IP addresses (which now are CBOR encoded without the prefix, 
thus one byte less). Please have a look and let us know if you disagree with 
this change.

Thank you for your question! The authors are currently doing a push to go 
through the open issues* and address all the critical ones to get it ready for 
a wg last call for the upcoming IETF meeting. It is likely we will post some 
related questions here on the COSE mailing list, asking for input during the 
upcoming period. If you already have questions or comments, feel free to reach 
out to us!

Where does this stand wrt wg last call?

It is getting serious consideration in some interesting aviation comm.
Well beyond what I am doing with it for UAS...
